Creatively Maladjusted This photo project was to play with the low light handheld setting on the new camera. The new camera will take several pictures in a second and then combine all the pictures into one picture. It lessens the need for a tripod in low light situations because if… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #94
These following submissions came to me well after the Monday at noon deadline for the Random Weekly Photo Experiment. However, since they came via the United States Post Office, I won’t hold it against 1st time contributor Russell Kennerly. RMK (as he is known in our email discussion group) is… Read More »Late Submissions
More pictures from the Self Evident Truth Series: Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will return to the 9 Emotions Project. I will be publishing Shannon and Willy’s interpretations of the 9 Emotions.
Self Evident Truth Jesse and I knew that we weren’t spending a ton of time in New York and we were given a few suggestions by Sarah and Steph on places to visit. We both decided to choose one place we had to go see. Jesse chose Central Park. I… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #62 – Alpha
More random New York City images from the second day of the trip. These pictures were mostly taken on Ellis Island and around the financial district. Regrettably, I didn’t see one Goldman Sachs piece of garbage to mug. More random New York City images will be coming your way next… Read More »More Random NYC – Ellis Island and Financial District
File Photo I’ve had a goal of sending a secret to PostSecret for quite some time now. Perhaps ever since Sara introduced Jen and I to PostSecret those many years ago. It has been difficult for me because I don’t really have any secrets. It is one of the drawbacks… Read More »(Very) Personal Photo Project of the Week #50
The rest of the I Recommend Pleasant pictures. I think if you look closely at these pictures, you can see the exact moment where Foster is no long amused. Something else I am reminded of when I look at these pictures is that I need to invest in another backdrop.… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #46 Beta
The theme of SPIRITUAL didn’t ring the bell of many people this week. It reminds me of one of my favorite Daniel Tosh jokes. “When people tell me, ‘I’m not religious, but I’m spiritual’, I tell them ‘I’m not honest but you’re interesting.’” Here are the submissions for SPIRITUAL: Dawn… Read More »RWPE #46 – Spiritual
The rest of the pictures from Becca and I’s trip to the Sculpture Garden. > Hard to believe that when I was in Minneapolis this Saturday, all of those flowers would have been long gone and covered in snow.
Here are a few pictures from trip to the Twin Cities a few weeks ago. These are almost all from a trip to the Sculpture Garden with Becca. More pictures to come…
Here are some pictures from my vacation. In particular, they day I spent with Mom. More pictures to come…
I think most of you know that I have strange ways of picking pictures for photo contests. I think the most interesting way is how I “pick” the pictures for the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. In fact, I don’t pick the pictures at all. I have 6 individuals each pick… Read More »Jesse Howard
I went to the State Fair with Sara on Sunday night with the mistaken belief that we would go see Vanilla Ice and Tone Loc in concert. We were going to be ironic, not because we thought this would be good, but in the end, the joke was on us.… Read More »State Fair Koan

Bennett Mike Vest The Random Generator has been randomizing and randomizing and finally it has generated the theme for this week: DEPTH OF FIELD This is a slightly more technical theme than most of the themes. Here is a… Read More »RWPE #28 – Calm
I think that anybody that has spent an extensive time with me knows the location of my favorite bridge. Despite being the scene of a tragedy, my love of that bridge has actually increased recently as it has become a community art project of some kind. I don’t really like… Read More »Adumbrate
I spent a good portion of Sunday wandering Reiman Garens with Mom, Grandma, Teresa and Logan. Don’t believe me? Here is photographic evidence: I learned plenty about gnomes. I might just have to invest in a gnome someday, but the gigantic toad in the Reiman Gardens gift shop might be… Read More »Reiman Gardens
I don’t recall if I woke up in my own bed or on my own couch on Thursday morning, but I definitely slept good and solid after getting home close to midnight the previous night. I think that I was able to fall asleep rather quickly after the 3.5 hour… Read More »Vacation Day 6 – Campus
Mingled Souls This picture was taken one fairly cold Sunday night with Sara helping out. A few other pictures from that night. One of these was taken by Sara. We also scouted out an alley and couple of other potential late night photo subjects in downtown Des Moines.
I indicated in the first Personal Photo Project entry that the weekly Personal Photo Project wouldn’t always be designing and taking a new picture. This is one of those occasions. This time the project was cutting and mounting and hanging Psyched Up (Not Out) on the wall. Psyched Up (Not… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 10

Marcel Proust filled out the questionnaire twice. The first time was in either 1885 or 1886 in an English confessions album. The second time was in either 1891 or 1892 in the French album Les confidences de salon. There are some questions unique to both questionnaires and the wording is… Read More »Proust Questionnaire Number One
